What Voters Need to Know
It is important for voters to know where Luis Mata and Mike Sparks stand on the issues. This race is so important. Democratic voters need to see and need to hear the following:
About Mike Sparks, Incumbent
Mike Sparks has lost his way. He has been in office for far too long with no real results or solutions for working families to show for it. He has a track record of being out of touch with the real issues facing Rutherford County and has voted repeatedly against the best interests of our community, putting special interests first. Mike:
Co-sponsored Tennessee's extreme abortion ban, with no exceptions for rape, incest, or when the mother's life is at risk.
Voted for a $2 billion giveaway for mostly out-of-state corporations, while opposing a grocery tax cut that would have benefited working families.
Supports implementing toll roads on Interstate 24, increasing costs for everyday working families.
Repeatedly supported taking public tax dollars away from our already underfunded and overcrowded public schools, benefitting only the privileged and wealthy few.
Luis Mata
Luis will be a champion for working families by taking action to:
Relieve Traffic - Luis Mata will lead the fight to repair our roads and relieve traffic congestion—and he’ll make sure to say NO to toll lanes.
Lower Our Costs - Luis Mata will eliminate the grocery tax, hold developers and corporations accountable, and fight for housing we can actually afford.
Fund Our Public Schools - Luis Mata believes that our tax dollars must remain in our public schools. He’ll fight to fully fund our schools and give our teachers the dignity, respect, and pay they deserve.
Protect Our Small Businesses - Luis Mata will lower costs and fees, and give small businesses the resources they need to create jobs and grow our economy.
Fight for Our Freedoms - Luis Mata will fight for our right to make our own healthcare decisions and protect our freedom to live safely in this community we love.
